About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of IGF-Methotrexate Conjugate in the Treatment of Myelodysplastic Syndrome, CMML and Oligoblastic AML

The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of utilizing the insulin-like growth factor-1-methotrexate conjugate, 765IGF-MTX for the treatment of advanced, previously treated myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and oligoblastic acute myelogenous leukemia (oligoblastic AML or O-AML), including determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

Read the detailed description

This pilot study will evaluate use of IGF-Methotrexate conjugate (765IGF-MTX) in patients with advanced, previously treated MDS, CMML and O-AML. 765IGF-MTX at a dose of 0.20 to 2.5 µequivalents per kg is administered as an IV infusion over 1.5 hours on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28 day cycle. Treatment continues until disease progression, as assessed after 2 cycles, unacceptable toxicity, or patient refusal. Assessment of response will be confirmed by bone marrow studies performed at the end of cycles 2, 4, and 6 (each +/- 3 days).

Pharmacokinetics will be performed before and for up to 24 hours after drug administration on days 1 (for 24 hrs) and 15 (for 24 hrs) of cycle 1. Pharmacodynamic samples will be assessed pre-dosing on day 1 of cycle 1, pre-dosing on days 1 and 15 of cycle 2, and pre-dosing on day 15 of cycles 4 and 6.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing IGF/MTX in people with Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Leukemia, Myelomonocytic, Chronic, run by IGF Oncology, LLC at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 May 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (time frame: Up to 6 28-day cycles for one participant, and up to 10 28-day cycles for the other participant.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 May 2024.
